Related: About this forumDid Trump ever get around to honoring Vets last week?
I've looked around and cannot find if Donald ever made a statement honoring our nation's vets. I did see a tweet he made that day about some newspaper he didn't like. You'd think a President-Elect would be there for them. Sad.

so it was too little, too late.
Altho, as a President Elect, there was not much he could formally do except release a heartfelt comment.
It was not heartfelt, it was a comment.

He prefers veterans who were NOT captured.
He honors veterans who DON'T have PTSD. You know, the STRONG ones.
I doubt that he'll help the V.A.
